Alright, before I tell this story I need to clarify that I was not able to find any arrest information to back this story. I am a skeptic myself, thats why i looked. If anybody has heard this story, or knows where I can find info, please let me know.
So two weeks ago my buddy was heading home after helping with a scout thing and stopped at a 7-11 in the Murry/Sandy area.(He said both cities sent cops.) As he was walking out of the store he passed three younger individuals approx 18. (I forgot to mention that he was still in a military uniform, because he hadn't been home yet.) As he walked past the last one, the kid stuck his hand in the back of his waistband and my buddy saw a weapon. He went to jis jeep and watched to see what was going to happen. The kids split up once in the store and he watched the last one lift his shirt and put his hand on the gun again. At this time he got his gun from the glove box (I know, a horrible place to store it) and locked and loaded. He entered the store calmley and proceded towards the last kid, being sure to not expose his own weapon yet. The kid saw that my buddy had come back in so he quickley attempted to conciel the weapon. My buddy saw the other one come right behind the one right in front of him and reach behind his back. My friend then drew on them, and said that one shot would have lined up with both people at center mass. He ordered them to show their hands and they refused. After an exchange of words, the third one started approaching from the left side. Pointing at the third one, he yelled to stop where he was. The three of them started to taunt him and say that the firearm wasn't loaded. He quickley responded with a "take another step and find out." I should add that the nervous cashier had pressed the button repetedly that was supposidly under the counter. My friend moved them, at gun point, over to the large windows in the front of the store and waited for police to arrive which was about two minutes. The cops then came in and cuffed the individuals and told my friend to lower his weapon and hand it to the police officer outside. He then handed his valid concieled permit and weapon to the officer and moved over to the side. He then heard the cops inside, while patting down the three kids, say "gun" repetedly. All three had handguns and all three were 18 years old. They were driving through from California and stopped. All three were arrested for illegal posession of a firearm and that was the end of the story.
I know it sounds a little sketchy, and not backed up, but it makes for some good reading. Like I said before, if anybody knows where i can find a police report or something to back it up, please let me know.
